San Francisco, CA. (PRWEB) June 26, 2013

Today, Cityblis.com will launch the Cityblis Media Center - an online pressroom combining ecommerce and digital publishing. This first-of-its kind online service gives reporters and journalists front row access to thousands of the world's best independent designers. Consolidating all digital content from high-resolution images to press releases into one central hub, the Media Center expands the international fashion platform to a whole new sector.

The idea is a combination of Reuters and Glam Media specifically developed for the fashion industry. "Cityblis is not just a fashion platform anymore. With the launch of the Cityblis Media Center, it is now also a full featured digital media hub," said Christopher Price, Chief Operating Officer. "We are no longer just enabling our designers to sell more products; we are enabling them to brand their companies. And therein lies the value of the Media Center. No other company out there is offering this capability on such an international scale."

The Cityblis Media Center was developed in close collaboration with designers, journalists, bloggers and other media professionals. The goal is twofold – Firstly, give every designer a voice in a much crowded space. And secondly, enable journalists to filter the noise to discover content that is relevant to them. Featuring advanced categories and filters, the Media Center is divided up into six different sections to best deliver not only exclusive press releases but deliver the full story behind each brand. From high-resolution images, videos, live feeds, product launches, event invitations, samples and trending topics the Cityblis Media Center is the first place to go to get the best independent fashion news directly from the runway.

With designers like Sacha London and LASVIII Paris, the majority of Cityblis' invitation only community are already well-known brands in their own countries. Through Cityblis, they have been able to reach new international customers. And with the introduction of the Media Center and over 20,000 invited media professionals, these brands will now be able to start branding themselves globally.

The Cityblis Media Center is not only a powerful tool for designers. Journalists, bloggers and media professionals are able to publish links to their articles on the Cityblis Press Page to give readers another dimension to their Cityblis experience. All articles are curated by reporters and readers, not by Cityblis ensuring an unbiased reporting of news.

"Imagine having a front row seat to New York Fashion Week - but instead of seeing it twice a year, we are bringing you new designers, new collections and new content daily," said Christopher Price. "Our vision is for every Cityblis designer to be a global brand and we will continue to build technology that enables our community to do exactly that."

KITTY PARTY!!!!

Welcome to my colorful little island!This blog is about sharing my colorful world, my sources of inspiration and all what fuels my imagination... Islands and kitties, beauty and art, nature and love, and creative souls who inspire me! Thank you for following me on my journey!

I am an artist and jewelry maker from Turin, Italy and I am half Italian and half German. I have a background in Language studies and a University degree in German and English, but I have always been fascinated by handmade objects, art, creativity and color. This resulted in my passion for handmade jewelry!

Like many jewelry makers and artists, my first jewels were made with beads, but soon I discovered the potentials of so many materials and I developed my very personal style.I would describe myself as a mixed-media and eclectic artist. My favorite materials include glass, polymer clay, metal sheets and wood, but as I love experimenting the possibilities are endless!What I love most about the creative process is the modeling and combining of materials. I especially make rings and pendants, but you will find some pins and earrings as well. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind, so no two pieces are the same!I love traveling and much of my work reflects the memories of places I love. I also like to bring back from my trips beautiful and unique glass and ceramic beads and cabochons, and found pieces such as ceramic shards and beach pottery to incorporate in my work or use as focal pieces.In recent years, one of my main sources of inspiration has been the LIGHT and COLOR of the Aegean Islands and Sea, as I'm often traveling there and love the blues, whites and greens of the islands, the glorious blue skies and sea.I passionately love COLOR, and my latest production has focused on the use of different paints and mediums... so the pieces are truly "art to wear"! My work is a constant research and neverending adventure, and I hope you will enjoy the wearable art as much as I enjoy creating it!
